Well, I was so relaxed going to court yesterday that I had to grab meter parking in front & hope it didn't go past 2 hrs.
Took a seat & placed my purse on the seat next to me as a hint. Didn't help, he went around & sat next to me on the other side. I asked him to please find another seat, too late, they started.
The judge asks him if he'd like to wrap things up now, as the motion he filed asked & he acted like he didn't know what she was talking about. He said we are only here for a status hearing & we have a few things left to work out?
She scheduled to come back March 1st, looked at us strangely & said you should have it together by then.
So, outside he says he wants to talk to me for 15 mins. I maintain my position that there's nothing to talk about, he knows what I'm asking for, if he'd like something different my attorney can take over.
Not long after that the mixed messages started, wanting to hug me, telling me how much he enjoys my company, at least when we're getting along. I say, that's nice, have to run. Next up is telling me how hard times are for his business & can I just make some adjustments. He will need to know by Thursday, because he's stressed & tired from not knowing what our final MSA will be.
I gave him a few minutes & said I had nothing more to say.
Today he sends an email insisting I look over the MSA he made minor corrections to, e-mail it to my attorney & let him know by Thursday at the latest. Same time asks that I trade my time w/S6 in April/May/June due to his competion calendar.
Same thing over & over, only now I feel like I'm the one at the wheel. I sent him an email saying there would be no exchanging days, afterall, when he took me to court, he said if there was a conflict, he "simply won't go."
I'm not walking on egg shells & wondering what his reaction will be any longer. Catering does just the opposite & I finally know that.
I think being firm is what is necessary. I'm always nice/polite, just not pursuie.
After 3 angry e-mails, he's now asking why I can't be nicer to him.
He has to feel the full effect of his decisions, I'm not saving him from that.
